What is recorded here
RATH in Lisgorgan Glebe, County Derry, is a documented archaeological site rather than an invented legend. The official record preserves its identity and location without claiming a visible ruin or a dated event. That absence of decoration may be why the place still matters: it refuses to perform for anyone who arrives wanting a spectacle.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
